CCRMA Summer Workshops:Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics

I would love to take a few summer workshops at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, CCRMA. I took a computer music technology class back in 2003 and have longed for more. Here is the schedule of workshops at CCRMA, from the CCRMA website:6/17 - 6/21 Network Sound and Data: Juan Pablo Caceres and Carr Wilkerson6/24 - 6/28 Intelligent Audio Systems: Foundations and Applications of Music Information Retrieval: Jay LeBoeuf, Leigh Smith, Steve Tjoa7/8 - 7/12Aspects of Sound in Art: Elaine Buckholtz and Sasha Leitman7/15 - 7/19 SuperCollider: Fernando Lopez Lezcano and Bruno Ruviaro7/22 - 7/26 The World of Auditory and Music Perception:Takako Fujioka, Poppy Crum, Pierre Divenyi7/29 - 8/2 Music and Mobile Computing: Mark Cerqueira and Spencer Salazar 8/12 - 8/16 New Music Controllers: Edgar Berdahl and Michael Gurevich8/19 - 8/23 Stompbox Design: Edgar Berdahl and Esteban Maestre8/26 - 8/30 3D Printing for Acoustics: John Granzow , Marlo Kohn, Scott Summit 9/9 - 9/13 Perceptual Audio Coding: Marina Bosi and Rich GoldbergTuition is $450.00 for each workshop. More information can be found on the CCRMA site.If you happen to be interested, CCRMA offers undergraduate and graduate university degrees. In addition to traditional courses, such as "Musical Acoustics" and "Seminar in Music Perception", other courses are offered, such as "Future Media/Media Archaeology", "Interactive Sound Art", and "Neuroplasticity and Musical Gaming".I'd be just as happy with a visit to IRCAM, the Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics and Music in France.

For readers who are interested in digging deeper into a topic, I often post video presentations, slides, links to publicly available scholarly articles, references, related news articles, blog posts, and websites, and references.
